Dollar Tree Inc said on Tuesday the Eastern District of Arkansas issued a federal grand jury subpoena related to a pest and sanitation problem, a month after U.S. health regulators identified a contamination issue at its Family Dollar division.<\/p>\n<p>Rodent activity and Salmonella contamination at a Family Dollar distribution center in Arkansas recently led to a recall of drugs, cosmetics, human and animal foods from 404 stores in six U.S. states, including Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>Dollar Tree said earlier this month it incurred a $34.1 million hit due to the recall.<\/p>\n<p>Rodent contamination may cause Salmonella and infectious diseases, which may pose the greatest risk to infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and immuno-compromised people, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said last month.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA also said conditions observed during the inspection of the facility included live rodents and dead rodents in various states of decay.<\/p>\n<p>A review of Dollar Tree&#8217;s internal records also indicated the collection of more than 2,300 rodents between March 29 and Sept. 17, demonstrating a history of infestation, the health agency added.<\/p>\n<p>Dollar Tree&#8217;s regulatory filing on Tuesday showed the Eastern District of Arkansas requested the production of information, documents and records pertaining to pests, sanitation and its compliance with law.<\/p>\n<p>The grand jury subpoena is a powerful investigative tool of the federal government used to identify and gather evidence about a certain federal crime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We intend to cooperate fully with the subpoena and any related investigation, however, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of this matter,&#8221;
